This, in the news is breaking my heart.
I hope she comes home safe soon - but every passing day is such a worry.

Had people staying

…..And no one is any nearer knowing what has happened to this lady

Joseanne Tue 14-Feb-23 18:01:27

I thought of the two little girls yesterday at the start of their half term holiday. So sad.

zipped

Why don’t people refrain from posting rather than keep saying ‘Zipped’?

Callistemon21 Tue 14-Feb-23 20:01:17

Goodness knows, GSM.
But the other thread about a murdered child is just so dreadful, it is so shockingly awful I could weep.
Perhaps some on there should practice what they preach on here.

What’s you’re problem fleurpepper your posts are pointless

Iam64 Tue 14-Feb-23 20:20:09

Well, I suppose if you don’t keep reminding everyone you are zipped, you won’t be the centre of attention.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 14-Feb-23 20:42:21

Ah yes …

BlueBelle Tue 14-Feb-23 20:53:07

Ahh that’s it then, missed that thought Iam 😳

Honestly at this stage I truly think we should stop speculating. It is serving no purpose. We should all wait imho, and hope.

Zipped is quicker than repeat.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 14-Feb-23 22:23:26

If one has made one’s point once, is that not sufficient?

BlueBelle Tue 14-Feb-23 22:54:26

You don’t have to keep saying it Fleurpepper

The news has just come through that they have found one of her gloves in the field

Chestnut Tue 14-Feb-23 23:55:12

Her partner is apparently not happy with the Police response. They would not hold a press conference, and are only now looking for any anglers which were on the river that day.

JenniferEccles Wed 15-Feb-23 00:18:51

Despite insisting they are keeping an open mind, the police do seem obsessed with their theory that the river holds the answer.
It must be incredibly frustrating for the poor family.

doesn't say the glove was nicola's at this stage.

COPS searching for Nicola Bulley were handed a ­mystery “stained” glove found in the field where the mother of two was last seen, it emerged tonight.

Lancashire Police will hold their first press conference in eight days on Wednesday at 11.30am. It is expected to be led by Assistant Chief Constable Peter Lawson and senior investigating officer Detective Superintendent Rebecca Smith.

Anniebach Wed 15-Feb-23 08:31:29

The police are holding a conference this morning.

MayBee70 Wed 15-Feb-23 10:38:15

Are the police too focussed on CCTV coverage these days and forgetting to do the procedures that they used to do?

Iam64 Wed 15-Feb-23 16:27:03

I haven’t seen the press conference but the radio news says Police described Nicola as a vulnerable missing person

I've just heard this. They said Nicola was deemed high risk due to a number of specific vulnerabilities, but they refused to enlarge .

I didn't think it the most helpful of comments.

It's a tragic case.

Anniebach Wed 15-Feb-23 16:32:57

Not helpful for whom ?

Iam64 Wed 15-Feb-23 16:33:24

Thanks Zoejory, that’s what I heard. Specific vulnerabilities - it’s difficult not to speculate

Jaxjacky Wed 15-Feb-23 16:48:53

Her specific vulnerabilities were called private and personal, the police are respecting that, as they should.

JenniferEccles Wed 15-Feb-23 16:56:03

Out of respect for the family I think it’s perfectly understandable that the police don’t wish to elaborate on what the specific vulnerabilities are.
It obviously has a bearing on why their ‘main working hypothesis’ is that she entered the water. They stressed though that all lines of enquiry are still open.
